Print this file to make the Halloween Garland: halloween_garland.pdf
We like to decorate the house a little bit for Halloween; the children, especially, like to decorate their rooms. We enjoy doing it together. And, you can make this garland at home with some string and the printable file, provided here. No need to run to the store, and purchase yet another thing. I find, that with four young children, shopping is a chore; and I don’t mind consuming less in the world. I don’t want to be continuously throwing or giving things away. And, I would rather ground the kids in simplicity.
I had a designer create the file above, Halloween Garland, especially for this purpose in mind. I have seen printables online for awhile now, but why not take it the next level, and have printables that are really very nice quality. We used some kitchen string, printed the Halloween Garland file three times on cardboard stock paper, cut out the shapes, then glued them onto the string with some Elmer’s Glue. Have fun! And, if you send in your pictures, I would be happy to post them.
This year, we are making our Halloween costumes again. Our eight year old girl, is going to be Mary (from Mary Had a Little Lamb). I learned how to sew (better) for the occasion. Our one year old baby girl is going to the Little Lamb. Our three year old boy is going to be a Bat. And, our seven year old boy is going to be Darth Vader. We are still working on them, but I will post tutorials on all, hopefully by next weekend. And, I am making printables for the Bat and Darth Vader costumes that I will also upload. Tomorrow, Tuesday, I think I will post a how-to on the orange pumpkin wreath we made this month.
